The acorn concert, which had been ambitious, came to an all-stop state ahead of the production team meeting.
The reason is the entertainment director’s objection.
In the conservative broadcasting industry, the boss’s orders are absolute. The production of the Acorn Concert was like going over the water, but we had no intention of giving up.
On the one hand, they approached and lobbied executives at broadcasting stations, and on the other hand, they conducted public opinion wars on the Internet.
– There is a surprise concert coming up on the main page of Cy Club. What does it mean?
– The unconditional challenge team is planning a concert with the cyclub feel.
– This time it’s not a music festival, it’s a concert, so it’s going to be a super-large project. Rumors are already circulating that he has already recruited singers.
I only kindled a small fire, but the ripple effect was huge, so the rumors spread like wildfire.
Thousands of posts asking when the broadcast will be aired have already been posted on the bulletin board for unconditional challenge, and tweets, SNS such as Facebook, and even media outlets have started to spread rumors as articles.
The broadcasting company issued a statement saying it was groundless, but to no avail.
Public opinion had already heated up like red-hot molten iron in a blast furnace, so instead, rumors like surprise broadcasts were only growing.
“How did this happen? I should have told you to be careful not to say anything, but it’s all over the news!”
In the KBC executives’ conference room, shouts are pouring in from the morning.
The reason why the president, Chul-Min Joo, was so furious was because an article appeared on KBC’s flagship entertainment show that the production of an acorn concert was confirmed.
“I heard you said you don’t care if it’s a concerto or a nabal?”
Facing Joo Cheol-min’s angry gaze, the director of entertainment bows his head.
“As reported last week, the acorn concert was rejected right on the day of request.”
“I refused, but why does the article keep crawling out? Do you know how many times this is?”
“We refused, but the company said it was producing the concert alone. So it seems that speculative articles keep coming out after seeing that.”
The acorn concert is just one of the episodes covered in the entertainment program, but for Joo Chul-min, the title was at stake.
Never receive reports, videos or advertisements related to cryptocurrency.
It was an official letter sent directly from the Blue House secretary’s office.
Joo Cheol-min, who took the position of KBC president through a parachute from the government, had to do anything to calm public opinion.
“Boss, why don’t we just throw the broadcast away?”
The entertainment director expressed his opinion as carefully as possible, but it was not a proposal that would work if he was careful.
“it’s crazy? Are you doing this because you want to see me blow away? huh?”
“You misunderstood. I said this because I was worried that if I continued like this, there would be a strong headwind.”
“A headwind?”
“This case is already considered a fait accompli on the Internet. But what would happen if rumors spread that the production failed because we blocked it here?”
“When rumors spread, I am. What could be different? I only have one variety show.”
If it were a different program, the term ‘only entertainment show’ might be correct.
However, the unconditional challenge involved in this Acorn concert was absolutely not an ordinary entertainment show.
“Boss, Unconditional Challenge is a program with a strong fan base in its 10th year of airing. You know that the viewership rating was 25% at the last Idol Song Festival, right?”
These days, not a few people watch broadcasts on mobile phones or computers, so a 25% viewer rating actually exceeded 40% viewer rating.
“What does being popular have to do with headwinds?”
“The main audience for Unconditional Challenge is from 20s to 40s. That age group has strong anti-government tendencies. On the day when a large-scale protest breaks out after provoking them… … .”
Already at KBC, protests for Joo Chul-min’s resignation, which came through the parachute of the government, were pouring in.
If there is a protest because of this situation, and the day they join the resignation protest, there will be terrible results.
“No. That’s absolutely not possible.”
Joo Cheol-min’s expression hardened just by imagining the scene.
At this time, the director of entertainment quickly continues talking.
“So I think it’s right to let go of the steam by leaving it open moderately, rather than forcing it to burst.”
“how?”
“While proceeding with the main episode separately, the acorn concert is briefly covered as a secondary episode. Wouldn’t interest naturally fall if the airing did not meet expectations?”
Upon hearing the story, Joo Cheol-min slammed his desk with a ‘Tak!’ hit and shouted
“You are right. It’s a plan that’s perfect for young people these days. It will heat up like a pot and then cool down in an instant.”
“That is correct.”
Since public opinion could no longer be reversed, there was no better policy than this.
Besides, the VIP side would know the overheated current situation, so even if the word came out later, it could be an excuse that this was the best.
“Run it as fast as you can before it gets any louder.”

A warm wind was blowing in the Cy Club development room after a long time.
Previously, there were Watts that hit the jackpot, but Cy Club had few inflows, but this Acorn Concert attracted a large number of users even before the production was announced.
As a result, the number of daily access to Cy Club increased 5 times, and the revenue from minihompy and music sales exploded 30 times.
“Are you here, boss?”
The atmosphere at Cy Club was so good that Gong Min-joon, the head of the development team, also straightened up.
“Are you very busy these days?”
“You can be busier. This is an opportunity that has been around for a while. Ha ha ha ha.”
I shake hands and look around the entire development room.
The existing Cy Club development room was somewhat roomy, but after the Winkle team joined a while ago, it became crowded.
“The office looks cramped. We will look for a larger office soon.”
“it’s okay. Teamwork is better when there is a taste of meeting people.”
“If the Acorn concert goes well this time, the size of the team will increase, but shouldn’t we hire more people then?”
“Ah, isn’t that what happens when things go well?”
Gong Min-joon waved his hand, but the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he hadn’t.
“Considering the connection with the virtual currency development team, we have to move someday. It’s also difficult for me to go back and forth between the two offices.”
“It’s good for us when we move to a new office. When should we start preparing?”
“I’ll finish this concert and move it when I can afford it.”
“All right.”
After the story of moving the office, we move beyond the partition inside.
The owner of the seat, Park Tae-shik, was absent.
“Where did Director Park go?”
“The director went out for a meeting to produce an acorn concert.”
I heard that I went to the broadcasting station as soon as I went to work in the morning. But now it’s 7 in the evening?
When I was about to make a phone call to see if something had happened, team leader Gong added a comment.
“The director is so passionate about his work that I find it hard to follow. So it must have been a good result.”
“A good result? What happened?”
“Oh, not this time. Did you know that when Cy Club reopened, the number of daily users stayed the same?”
“I heard that access was maintained because Psy was turned on to listen to the song.”
“All of them are playlists selected by the director himself.”
The moment I heard it, I was stunned and laughed out loud.
“Were the songs that were being streamed selected manually, not randomly or algorithmically?”
“It wasn’t just a selection of songs, it was a song that was put together one by one for each day of the week, weather, and anniversary, depending on the user’s age. Just like the old radio DJs did.”
“That would be very cumbersome.”
“I also thought it was inefficient at first, but I was surprised to see that the result was very popular.”
Park Tae-sik has been a fanatical fan of Cy Club since his school days, and he is still sincere, so this kind of idea is possible.
“How happy would you be to hear that such a person is participating in the planning of this Acorn Concert?”
“It must be meat that has met water.”
“hahahaha. It is a fitting analogy.”
The ball team leader, who had been giggling, muttered as he looked at Park Tae-sik’s empty seat, as if he suddenly remembered the old days.
“I was worried when the first director said he was in charge of Cy Club. As someone with no experience in the industry… … .”
“Didn’t you tell me?”
“At that time, I was not in a position to cover cold rice with hot rice. But after working together, I can understand why the CEO chose the director.”
There is an Internet term used for cases like Park Tae-shik.
all virtues.
By using the word ‘virtue’, which refers to an otaku who is immersed in a hobby, it means that work and hobbies have become one.
I didn’t expect him to do this well, but I just hoped the results would be good anyway.
After talking with team leader Gong, I immediately call Park Tae-shik.
What are you doing, the guy answers the phone after the connection tone goes through more than 10 times.
-Uh, Woohyuk. what’s the matter.
“I called because I wanted to do something. Are you still at the broadcasting station?”
-I haven’t been able to get an answer, so I’m just repeating meetings from the morning.
The voice is slightly excited. I don’t think the meeting is getting longer because things don’t work out.
“What’s the matter with meetings all day?”
– It’s a very, very important matter.
“So what?”
-Everyone has different opinions on who to cast for this concert.
After listening to the contents, I think I understand why the meeting took so long.
People often say that it is a song with Cy Club sensibility, but surprisingly, Cy Club has a long peak.
from 2003 to 2010.
For about 8 years, popular songs and singers were diverse. It’s not easy to pick just a few songs from there.
“Didn’t the cast go around and recruit singers one by one?”
-It’s all directing. Production. Everything is recruited and proceeded before production. So I have to make a decision somehow… … Phew, opinions are divided, and it’s killing me to make a fuss outside.
“Outside?”
-Listen to yourself. what is the situation now
I hear a ‘drrr””””” And then I hear a shout,
-Shim PD-nim, please make sure my oppas come out! If you miss this chance, you won’t be able to come out as a whole forever! please!
– Snowflakes sing my life! Do not subtract!
– I really want to hear the ballad sung by Gukjong hyung live again!
-Wannabe! Only Wannabe!

Park Tae-sik’s voice returns with the sound of the door closing again.
-Do you know what the situation is like outside?
“Could it be that the fans are coming and doing that?”
-okay. I don’t know where the information leaked out, but they say they’ve been taking turns camped out for a few days.
Thinking that fans of uncles and aunts, not student fans, were doing that in front of the broadcasting station, I picked and laughed.
– Hey, this is not the time to laugh. If we choose the wrong song, even a riot will cheer me up.
“Then leave it to the fans.”
– What do you entrust?
“You can vote for the song you want online. If we say one vote for each Watts subscriber and an extra point for cheering for a short video, the number of video uploads will skyrocket.”
Encouraging video uploads with ordinary products is not very effective, but when fan spirit is added to this, the story changes.
As there are singers who stand on stage for the first time in 10 years, there will be many fans who want songs and the competition will be no joke.
“Prepare the server before the announcement. If there is a competition for uploading videos, the server might expand.”
